Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than its overall rating. Our inspection ratings are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple relatively minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area was short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this category. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. It doesn't look like this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.576515 percent of its patients. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations.

The next area we analyzed was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in that area. This is a fair grade in this area. There are several subcategories included in this grade. Most of these subcategories relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is far below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
